1793 Chain 1C AMERI. Fine 12 NGC. S-1, B-1, R.4. This is the
famous Chain AMERI. cent, the first copper coin struck at the
Philadelphia Mint before all the others. Although certain
indications suggest Henry Voight, the actual engraver of those
first dies remains unidentified. This piece has glossy
chocolate-brown surfaces with splashes of lighter tan around the
chain. The surfaces are moderately marked as expected for the
grade, although the date, LIBERTY, and central motifs are all
strong, as is the legend and denomination on the reverse. Our EAC
grade VG7.(Registry
values: P5) (NGC ID# 223G, PCGS# 1340)
